Bridget on her own

Bridget struggles with low self-esteem, which causes depressive

symptoms. She doesn’t feel good enough, and she doesn’t accept
opportunities that come her way because of it. She begins working with a
therapist to help her build self-awareness.

The next time an opportunity comes her way, she thinks she doesn’t want
to do it and initially decides to turn it down. Later, with the help of some
self-awareness techniques, Bridget realizes that she is only telling herself
she doesn’t want to do it because of her fear that she won’t be good
enough.

Bridget reminds herself that she is good enough and redirects her
thoughts to “what if I succeed?” instead of “what if I fail?” She accepts the
opportunity and continues to use self-awareness and self-love to improve
her chances of success.

These three stories exemplify what self-awareness can look like and what
it can do for you when you tap into it. Without self-awareness, Bob would
have kept turning in bad reports, Monique would have continued in an
unsatisfying relationship or broken things off, and Bridget would never
have taken the opportunity that helped her grow.

If you look for them, you can find these stories everywhere.
